Fluke offers three-phase power quality analyser for reducing electrical power consumption
Fluke
430 Series II three-phase power quality analyser
Fluke is offering its 430 Series II three-phase power quality analyser, which is designed to help facilities reduce their electrical power consumption and improve the performance of electro-mechanical equipment, as well as simultaneously calculating the input and output power of inverters used within solar systems, wind turbines and uninterrupted power supplies.
The latest models in the 430 Series II feature up to 32GB (8GB as standard), a swappable SD memory card and USB connectivity, as well as improved hardware, software, firmware, screen quality and battery life.
They also include a Unified Power function — which comes from an algorithm that was first developed as an extension to the IEEE standard 1459 — that can automatically quantify the energy wasted by harmonics and unbalance. Additionally, it can calculate the monetary price of wasted energy using the utility rate structure.
A Powerwave ’fast-capture’ system displays waveforms and half-cycle RMS voltage and current values in full detail, which enables the interaction to be measured during switching operations.
Both models are compliant with the international IEC 61000-4-30 Class-A standard, are safety rated 600 V CAT IV/1000 V CAT III and can record up to 150 parameters on four phases simultaneously in accordance with the EN50160 standard.
Key features
- Provides the ROI justification in order to mitigate power quality distortion
- Can monitor systems with up to ten power quality parameters on one screen
- Powerwave can gather measurements with one tool to prevent motor/drive/load mismatches, and for motor and generator commissioning and start-up testing
